$url = 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgNgODPIO0w&feature=rec-HM-fresh+div';
$url = preg_replace('@http://www.youtube.com/watch\?v=([^&;]+).*?@', 'http://www.youtube.com/v/$1', $url);

preg_match('~(http://www\.youtube\.com/watch\?v=.+?)&.*?~i', $url, $matches);

echo $matches[1];

I would use a combination of parse_url and parse_str:

$url = 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgNgODPIO0w&feature=rec-HM-fresh+div';
$parts = parse_url($url);
parse_str($parts['query'], $params);
$url = 'http://www.youtube.com/v/'.$params['v'];

Or a simple regular expression:

preg_match('/^'.preg_quote('http://www.youtube.com/watch?', '/').'(?:[^&]*&)*?v=([^&]+)/', $url, $match);
$url = 'http://www.youtube.com/v/'.$match[1];
